Chapter 492: Self-Determination and Martyrdom
"Father Khan, the main soldier of Li Guo is strong and strong, and he is diligent and loves the people, he is the image of the people!" Ali Hilred was brought to Ali Silvard and spoke out. After he was captured, he was not mistreated by the cathars.
And it's not just him! The captured Khorezm soldiers were also treated relatively well. With the exception of a few Kipchaks who had their heads cut off, everyone else was doing well in the camps.
At first, Ali Hilrid was also suspicious of the cathars' unusual behavior! But after days of no further action by the cathars, he slowly dispelled his doubts. At the same time, the cathars also sent healers to treat the wounded soldiers, and sent a wave of spies from the prison army to preach to them Khorasan's tolerant policy towards the captives.
During this period, there were people who carried food for the captives and deliberately withheld them, and also added sand to them. After being sued by the unconvinced Khorezm soldiers, he was taken down and beheaded.
Only then did the captured Khorezm soldiers believe that the cathars had no ill will towards them.
Although Ali Hilrid did not understand the reason for the cathars' actions, judging from the slow and soothing attitude of the Khwarazm soldiers towards the cathars, he was definitely suspected of buying people's hearts.
In the days that followed, the prison guards, who had been preaching to them, suddenly stopped coming. Instead, there was a group of people who claimed to be the Sindh Immigration Department. With a cautious attitude, he only listened for a long time before he understood the purpose of the cathars.
But they want to send them to Sindh County to open up the wasteland.
Although he has followed Ali Silvard on the battlefield since he was a child, he has traveled a lot of territory. But little is known about Sindh. I only know that this is the territory of the Gur Kingdom, in Tianzhu, further south.
It's sweltering, but it's golden. And the people there are very weak, and they are very easy to attack.
But it's all heard!
After being explained by the Sindh Immigration Bureau, he learned that Sindh County was indeed in Tianzhu, and it was extremely hot. But the land is not full of gold, and the people are weak. In addition, there are many rivers in the area, and there are many pastures and arable land with abundant water and grass.
And to the south, near the sea, a new city is already being built - Karachi. It was decreed by the lord of the kingdom, and in the future, the goods of Khorasan would be shipped there by sea to the distant and rich ancient kingdom of the East.
At the same time, shiploads of tea, porcelain, silk and other oriental goods will also be transported to Karachi. Thus it was transported to the counties of Khorasan through the Khorasan National Highway, which was intensively repaired.
This is a major highway plan formulated by the Department of Transportation of the Ministry of Industry. Starting from Puhua and ending at Karachi, build a large road connecting the counties and counties. Its width is five zhang wide, and a separation zone is built in the middle. Travel in both directions, and four carriages can be paralleled at the same time.
Long before the Khorasan Gui Er hometown, this plan was instructed by Li Chengji and became a major project closely discussed by the officials of the Ministry of Industry. As soon as the land of Gul was restored, it was set in motion.
In order to shorten the construction time, the construction of the road section in each county was started at the same time. It's just that in order to ensure the uniformity of quality and construction standards, the Ministry of Industry will send officials to each county to supervise the construction. During the period, it also prevented the people below from cutting corners and making a bunch of tofu slag projects.
At present, due to the impact of the war, the construction speed of Puhua, Yeli, Tus and other counties is relatively slow. Only Maru and the districts of Gur and Sindh have made relatively rapid progress.
In particular, in Ghor and Sindh, military control was imposed on the cathars shortly after they were brought under their rule. Therefore, many tribes are under the deterrence of the cathars, and they have joined in half-pushing. At present, the national highway connecting the city of Kobuli has been built seventy or eighty percent, and the speed is still very fast. The official road of Malu Unicom is also immediately connected.
So predictable!
When the entire national highway is completed, the districts of Khorasan will be more closely connected.
Ali Shirred also knows a little bit about these news. Even he doesn't know much about concrete roads. I only heard that it was an extremely hard official road, and the carriage walked on it without the slightest crushing marks.
But he didn't get a chance to see it with his own eyes! So until now, there were doubts about the existence of concrete roads.
At this moment, Ali Silvard listened to his words and said in a deep voice: "Are you here to be a lobbyist?" ”。 Although his face looked calm, Ali Hilrid felt a heavy pressure and responded, "Father Khan! Lord Li promised me. As long as you surrender, he will definitely treat you well. ”。
Ali Silvard is a Khorezm god-like figure! If you can successfully attract it. That was definitely worse for Khorezm. Similarly, for Khorasan, it was also possible to recruit more Khorezm military generals.
And Ali Silvad's reputation is not bad! When he was in Xunskan before, it was because of his interference that the Kipchaks did not dare to be too presumptuous. So much so that after he left, many of the people of Seeskan remembered Ali Silvad's existence.
Among the Kipchaks who did evil in the city this time, there was not a single one under him because of the strict management of the army. Now the soldiers followed him into the mountains and starved. It can be said that there are still very many means to govern the army.
Li Chengji asked Ali Hilrid to come over, and that's what he thought.
"Take them away! As for me--", Speaking of this, Ali Silvard looked to the northeast and said with a sad face: "I have been fighting all my life, fighting for Khorezm in the south and in the north. Now the high-ranking officials are also thanks to the Sultan. Therefore, I will not descend no matter what! ”。
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed headlong into the rock on the mountain wall. Before Ali Hirred and the other generals could stop him, they heard a thud, but it was solid and full of rocks.
"Father Khan!" Ali Hilred cried as he half-wrapped his arms around Silvad's upper torso.
"You-you-you serve the new Lord well. I am carried by the Sultan, and I dare not bear the Sultan's heavy favor. And you are different, you are the future head of my Ali family. In the future, he will lead the Ali family to continue in Khorasan for a hundred years. Ali Silvard said. Blood gushed from his forehead like a fountain, pouring out of the hole that had been knocked open.
"Father Khan! Father Khan! ”,
"Emir! Emir! Some of the generals also cried. They were all old men who had followed Ali Silvard for a long time, so they couldn't help but feel sad to see this father-like veteran judge himself in front of him.
Ali Hilrid then made it clear to the people that the cathars were lenient with their captives! And make it clear to them! If you don't want to join the army, you can leave Khorasan after being screened by the cathars.
